can thanks to my loving brother swalden28, whom i think is starting to hate me. poured a clear yellow with a fast fading white head. aroma was pilsner malt, fruity citrus, and corn. flavor was some nasty ol sweet corn juice that was poured straight from the can. not good at all.

This isn’t any freaking better then when I rated it when it as brewed up in Minnesota! Corn water look/taste. I should give it a notch lower because it doesn’t have the pirate on the label any more!

Pale golden color. The flavor is watery and seems barely a step from a light lager. There is no finish at all, just a watery fade out. Skip it.

Perhaps in a pig’s eye this is a Pilsener, but not to me. Why? Because there’s no discernable hop bitterness in the aroma or flavor, and that’s what makes a Pils a Pils. It pours a deep yellow body filled with lazily moving bubbles. The dincus head vanishes almost immediately. The aroma is a light malt with sweet corn syrup and apples. Same with the flavor, although the apples turn a little green. Oddly, tho’, it’s not completely repugnant.

Canned. Poured clear, extra-bright golden with a 1/2" cap of white head and a little rising carbonation. The had sweeter honey and corny notes with a touch of citrusy hoppage coming through.. a little bit of warmth brought out medicinal and near-vegetal off notes. The flavor opened with honey and corn sugars with little real bitterness around (did get some sour lighter fruit and medicinal notes, though).. finished dry with pale malts and sour citrus. Light-bodied with heavier carbonation on the palate.. didn’t flow very well, nor were there a lot of components to be excited about. P.S: This was not skunked.. it just wasn’t a very good beer.

Look at the description. Do you see all those wonderful hop varieties listed there? You would think that something...SOMETHING... in the way of hop character would awaken the senses on the palate. No. Corny, grainy, sweet, bland, watery.

(Bottle) Pours yellow with little head. Light and sweet, but nothing special.

Golden body, with a quickly-diminishing head. Hardly a lace. Corn, malt, and slight hop aroma. Flavor is an extension of the aroma. Somewhat fizzy carbonation, and that brought down the palate score for me. Semi-sweet malt/corn aftertaste. Not a very good beer, so I doubt I’ll have it again.
